We've tightened what earns a Pursue. A home now needs a published valuation, a strategy that still makes money after real running costs and lender stress tests, and no listing problems that would stop a mortgage. You'll see fewer Pursues, and each one has been checked harder.

About
Hidden away along the enchanting Giggle Alley in Eskdale Green, this beautifully renovated 2/3 bedroom semi detached character cottage enjoys an idyllic woodland setting.
Surrounded by trees and countryside, the property offers a real sense of privacy and calm, with birdsong and the gentle sound of leaves providing a relaxing backdrop, ideal for those looking to enjoy a slower pace of life in the Lake District.
The current owners have completed a comprehensive renovation and thoughtful extension, transforming the cottage into a superb, move in ready home.
The standout feature is the stunning open plan kitchen/family room, created by linking the original cottage with its former outbuildings.
With a double height sloping ceiling over the dining area and patio doors opening directly onto the garden, it’s a wonderful space for entertaining and everyday living.
A cosy lounge with open fire and patio doors provides an inviting reception space, while a large utility room and stylish ground-floor shower room add everyday practicality.
A further reception room on the ground floor works perfectly as a snug or home office, offering flexibility for modern lifestyles without compromising the cottage’s layout.
This room also offers potential to be used as a ground floor bedroom for a dependent relative, given its closeness to the shower room.
Upstairs, there are two generous double bedrooms and a contemporary bathroom with an elegant four-piece suite.
Outside, the property benefits from driveway parking for one to two cars and a delightful south facing enclosed garden.
Currently used as a second home and offered with no onward chain, this charming cottage would suit couples, families, those relocating, or buyers seeking a peaceful retreat or potential holiday let in one of the Lake District’s most tranquil village settings.
